Grandma’s house had the atmosphere of a Tupperware box left out in the sun. Like a tropical flower, she had to be kept warm and moist at all times, or she would wilt and die.

Happiness. It was the place where passion, with all its dazzle and drumbeat, met something softer: homecoming and safety and pure sunbeam comfort. It was all those things, intertwined with the heat and the thrill,...

It was as if the news itself wanted to reassure me. Even Jack the Ripper himself had reappeared as part of the greeting committee.

You’re saying everything I want to hear, but I don’t know if I can trust it.

And just as I thought that my happy ending was beginning, it had to end so soon even though it hadn’t started yet.

Gansey had once told Adam that he was afraid most people didn’t know how to handle Ronan. What he meant by this was that he was worried that one day someone would fall on Ronan...

You should only fall in love with people who will fall in love with you back.

This is your life – not your parents’, teachers’ or significant other’s. If you ever find yourself on a path that just doesn’t feel safe anymore, you have every right to stop the car, get...

Love is a monster.

Sometimes what we don’t want is actually what we need.

Hmm, I officially amend my previous statement. Clearly one of them is that stupid.

It was a room full of ghosts, arranged in readiness for days that would never happen.

All I did was offer to kill your dog, and the next thing I know I’m being judged.

So young and yet already carrying a great burden on her shoulders. Do not worry, my dear, I will make sure you can protect yourself and others. Because you are our hope … sweet, darling...

Oh.” I blushed. Why was I being so nosy all of a sudden?

All is right in the world again.

As a Cambion, balance is paramount. Never lose control, never allow emotions to run wild, and never, ever forget who you are and what lives within you. Such discipline requires a sound mind, a thick...

My emotions are spiraling out of control. I never promised I would be logical at a time like this!

Hate looks like everybody else until it smiles

My insanity begged for a distraction. (Eric)

So we have twenty-four hours to keep out of trouble,’ he says to me.I slide a glance in his direction. Judging from the way he’s now grimacing at the sidewalk and the fact that I...

It’s time, Perry”. He let her go. She took a step back, taking in his face one last time. His green eyes. The bend in his nose and the scars on his cheek. All the...

We’re both whisper-screaming at each other. All I can think is this is the worst possible way to break up with somebody.

I’d rather be known as a freak than a science project.

I picked up my camera and held it at arm’s length and took a picture of myself not caring. I called it: Glory Doesn’t Care.

I sort of liked the sound of bones breaking. It was like home.

One can learn from what is not said.

Youngsters deserve no opinions.

Such a pity, really; the prey falling for the predator. The victim in love with the killer… A mere mortal girl thinking a demon was capable of love.

The worth is in the act. Your worth halts when you surrender your will to change and experience life. But options are before you; choose one and dedicate yourself to it. The deeds will give...

How would Elijah ever understand a life that is dark more than light? Or a shadow of someone who follows her around, and when she least expects it, taps her on the back and asks,...

I only have eyes for you.” He touched the tip of my nose with his finger. I swatted him away. Jace laughed. ~Jace~

Love is not measured by acts or years, but by truth between two people.

Is it not enough to shine,To know that friends are true?That love is born of friendship,And who you are is you?

Time will make it worse! You’re…the other half of his soul. He’s never going to get over you. And no matter how much you hope that you will… you’ll never get over him. You’re going...

I look into his sorrowless eyes and a door in my heart blows open. And when we kiss, i see that on the other side of that door is sky.

In his arms, I slowly unfolded like a love note read in secret.

The only bright corner of my heart, where nothing seemed to hurt, was where Grey was. When I thought of him, I could see a future where I could be happy again, where I might...

Maybe love, unfathomable love, was too much for people, so they had traded it for something easier.

Kammy jerked upright. It was as though the trees had parted beneath the pressure of the storm and a bolt of lightning had struck her. She had never entered the mouth for it had always...

You said the potholes in Leslie’s driveway suck.

There is no such thing as helplessness. It’s just another word for giving up.

She waits for his reprimand or words of disapproval.He kisses her instead. Hard. Lips demanding, fingers tightening on her chin. He consumes her with this single act.

You can’t keep resisting my irresistibleness, Natara Stone. You’ll give in eventually, and I won’t quit until you do.

If only I had the speed that my alien boyfriend had, then I could just zip through my senior year and forget about distance and mom’s annoyingly great sense of hearing. But when said alien...

What do I look like? A blonde rolodex for boys who’ve lost an archery match with cupid?

And then I remember this morning and I wonder if it really happened or if I dreamed it. It was nice. And weird. And tender. I’m not used to tender. It’s a fossil, that word....

The grass and the vines and the willow tree were all so lush and vividly green that he was slightly awed by them. Their location within an alcove of a cliff made all of it...

…I do have to wonder what sort of childhood the Grimm brothers endured. They are not a merry bunch of storytellers, what with their children roasted by witches, maidens poisoned by old crones, and whatnot.

Three. I had just made my first, second, and third kill. Before I had even obtained my mage’s robes. I bent over and vomited into the grass. There was no pride, no justice, just the...
